Abstract
Several thousand X-ray computed tomography systems are currently operated in clinics, industry, and academia. While conventional attenuation-based imaging is still dominant, alternative and complementary contrast mechanisms are under development and already in use. The generated big datasets require state-of-the art methods for image reconstruction, artefact removal, and analysis. Several technical advancements are enabling or pushing applications of tomography in pathology, tissue engineering, anthropology, etc. It is common to produce impressive imagery of unique objects and derive relevant features of the underlying structures and dynamics. Multi-modal imaging, which includes synergistic and reciprocal information, has played an increasing role. This interdisciplinary field comprises researchers and users from medicine/dentistry, biology, earth and materials science, crystallography, solid-state and soft-matter physics, chemistry, computational sciences, engineering, and applied mathematics to fruitfully combine results on system and component developments, algorithmic design and optimization, performance evaluation, and tomography experiments. This paper summarizes key aspects of the 55 contributions in the 14th volume on Developments in X-ray Tomography, arranged in sections on instrumentation, algorithms, and applications.
